My mother has always told me

My mother has always told me

"if someone has hurt you,

forgive them.

if they hurt you again,

forgive yourself."

you miss a lot of things

you miss a lot of things

but you’re not so sure

if

they miss you

just the same

where do you go from here

when the arms

that held you

so tightly

on the happiest

and the worst

of nights

are now crossed

or

lying straight

on both sides

of a body that is

indifferent

to your longing

where do you go from here

So i was watching the growth of different plants

So i was watching the growth of different plants in my back yard and i could see them bloom and grow in different sizes in different times while apparently they have been together all along getting all the water soil and sun all together and maybe that is something that can clear us on our growth as youth

We all have different capacities,circumstances and privileges that makes us grow in different ways at different times. Sometimes we grow all up in a minute and sometimes it takes the whole lifetime and sometimes our growth is nothing as compared to our surroundings despite of everything we did

This is where we need to draw the line and notice the difference. We think growth is relative and sometimes when your growth doesn’t match the outside world you start feeling like you’re left behind.

We all grow just differently in our own ways and we shouldn’t measure anyone’s growth by our metrics. No one has it all ever and i believe that we all get it one way or another just differently.

To all the introverts out there....

To all the introverts out there....

If you don't like to socialize, it doesn't mean you will never have a life.Sitting in silence, on your fluffy sofa, reading a good book isn't that bad either.

You are a good listener. It's okay if you don't talk too much, but when you do you are so passionate about it

Do not think you can not be a good friend to someone just because you hate hangovers and clubs. Nowadays people need a genuine one who can listen to their pains and can understand their silence.

You may sometimes feel like no one loves you, but that's not the reality. There are people who adores you for the way you are and believe me, they will never turn their back on you

You get confused during long talks, hesitate while speaking in front of a huge crowd, but don't you know how good you are in expressing your feelings through your writings.

It's okay if you fear opening up to people, sometimes privacy is just too satisfying.

You like spending time with yourself, doing self talk, building peace with your innerself. Don't you think it's much more important than everything else. Remember, everyone is unique and different, and so are you

The Last Love..!!

He was 12 years old,when he wished to be an officer,whenever he saw an scrupulous and strict officer surrounded with people ,he also desired to be the same.Whenever he listened the stories of a brave and flightless officer in the language of oppressed people,he observed that living for people is life indeed.He decided to be a hero of public and public his strength.

That public which is considered ordinary.

That public which is considered powerless.

He knew that founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a lawyer by profession,he knew that man of Asia,Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a lawyer too but he came accidental in that profession and then made it faith.Two were the aims he set for,first to serve the people,second to provide justice as much as he could.

He started studying law and now he knew that advocacy is the only profession by which he could live in the hearts of people.He was an extraordinary student of his batch,lived most seriously.When he used to speak,silence started spreading it's wings in the class and his voice prceded like thunder,roaring with the walls.The words were his slave and he ruled over objections.He was a little emotional too,mostly argued lengthy on small things.At the age where boys get tremble through the gravity of environment,he was addicted to books madly and was a true lover of knowledge.Ever found in library or used to fall asleep with books while reading them.

The time flowed on it's way and he kept working eagerly,he tried to save himself from unnecessary wants,finally he became a lawyer.He used to argue so fastly in the court that sometimes it became difficult to catch his words.He made his opponents unanswered through his vast knowledge and attacking attitude of reasoning,he got so much fame at very short time.

It was the time when advocacy was considered like a trade and business of money but he changed the revailing thoughts by his sincerity towards his profession.He was tempted by money and offered for bribe but he refused with uttering these words'I am beloved of people and people are my strength,if you offer me whole of the world I can't compromise on the things which purely are for the benefit of people'.He fought thousand of cases in his life and became successful in defending them.Now he is old but still is the ideal of people and will remain forever!

" It doesn't mean to be a lawyer,practicing law is everything "

Dear Indian best friend

Fate played a cruel game to give me & you everything in life. All pieces of the puzzle that fit perfectly, except one. It made you an opposite to me yet exactly like me. We understand each other like no one does. It gave me this last piece, but it never fits.

It made you an extreme introvert, and me otherwise, always talking when you're so quiet.

It made you a Hindu, and me a Christian.

Life was beautifully cruel as it made you an Engineering student and me a doctor.

You are a technology geek, I, an old soul poet.

You keep travelling here and there & I never leave home.

You stay on your laptop and I am always lost between the pages of books.

It made you rational & logical,

and me a dreamer and believer of magic.

And lastly, to always remind us of our differences, it made you Indian.

And me a Pakistani.

Because yeah, if our personalities weren't a shocking contrast, our nationalities definitely are.

And to make it even more painful, it put you & I just across the border.

So you'll always be close and always be so far away.

Oh but you were always a rebel, and so was I.

And I guess life forgot one thing. That people that are meant to be in your life will always gravitate back to you.

If fate played a cruel game, we fired back with something even better. Because even after all the hate there is, even after all the hard times we had, we are still the best of friends. We turned the tragic game into something cruelly beautiful. And today, each year, it marks our win.

Because what they labelled as enemy ground,

the best ally is what there i found

what they called as common foes,

a friend for highs, a friend for lows

where they found hate, we found peace

where they rage war, we would cease

where the borders converge,

and the sun moon collide

where the mountains submerge,

and the sub-continents divide

here we are

two best friends

one from where the other world begins

the other from where this one ends

Here's to 4 years of undying friendship and counting.

Happy International Best Friend's Day.

Love,

Your Pakistani counter-part

This might be long and tedious to read

This might be long and tedious to read, but do give this your time. I've read this somewhere and sharing now.

Inspiring story!

I made my students get used to listen to Adhaan from their first grade, says one teacher.

Even when I am explaining in the class, I stop and I tell them to repeat after the Muadheen. Then I remind them that the du'aa between the Adhaan and the Iqama is answered.

I noticed one of my students always say the du'aa between the Adhaan and Iqama, and uses the opportunity more than her classmates. One time I was correcting her note book, I said to her: "I like you because when I give you a chance to say du'aa between the Adhaan and Iqama, I notice that you take advantage of the opportunity more than your classmates."

She said: "Alhamdulillah, Praise be to Allaah, the first time I knew that the du'aa between the Adhaan and the Iqama is answered, I was in the fifth grade. So I make sure that I say du'aa at that time, especially this particular du'aa."

I asked her: "What is the du'aa?"

She said: "My mother gave birth to me and she can no longer give birth. I am now 13 years old and I have no sister. I get jealous of my friends when they talk about their sisters and I hope to have a sister. I always say du'aa for Allah to Bless me with a sister. But my mother tells me to say du'aa for Allah to Bless her with a son, because she already have me as her daughter."

She said this in a very innocent way: "Therefore I say du'aa to Allah to Bless us with a boy for my mother, and a sister for my sake and another boy for my brother not to remain alone." I said Ameen and I gave her back her notebook. I forgot the story and the days passed by, and the girl reached grade 9.

One day I was walking and I met her. She said: "O teacher my mother, gave birth yesterday. She brought triplets, two sons and a daughter." I said: "Subhan Allaah."

I learnt a lesson from my student which I can't forget. Be optimistic and say your du'aa continuously, and have good thoughts of Allah the Almighty. Say your du'aa and it will be answered. Say du'aa and take advantage of the time when du'aas are answered. Say du'aa and trust that Allah the Almighty is Close to His servant.

Do you know the secret my beloved sisters and brothers? You can say du'aa if you want righteous children, or righteous husband or wife, or you want to be in good condition, health or wealth.

Whatever you need just say du'aa. Say du'aa to your Lord and you will be answered. Even if it will be a bit late to be answered but say du'aa.

Because you are asking a Generous Lord, nothing is impossible for Him in the world and in the sky.

Say Ya Rab, and say du'aa to your Muslim brothers and sisters, and all your loved ones at their absence, and the Angels will say: "Ameen, May it be for you too."

roller coaster ride

"Ohh what a roller coaster ride this life has turned out to be!

A very ambivalent box of emotions.. An undesirable package of tolerance!

and yes in between these two states, there lies a chance for those "who pretend" to be unaffected by any of the above . There has been a time when we were making sure to stand up from a wet prayer mat each and every time!, to have back all those things, we took for granted lately... and every minute of getting those things in the past was another untold story... But it's so strange, after a while we don't care about them even!

At the very same time, at the subconscious level, we so very unknowingly... heartily desire for all the things we outrageously rejected, but then again ... perhaps we are even going to take them for granted, a year on from now, if we really got them in our lives .

I have seen people who so eagerly want to win today's race of "having everything"!! ohh man stop!

Life will open up for you in strange ways. There might come a time when you don't have anything you've ever asked for... and on the other side of the plate, there are people who are happy in whatever little they have... and yes these are the ones who will surely taste the feeling of being gratified.

Having said that it is obvious to work for your limited desires. Do yourself a favour and make yourself brave enough to accept what Allah has written for you ! For me life is just another name of acceptance"

The biggest mistake we do is taking our heart

The biggest mistake we do is taking our heart, our feelings, our genuineness for granted. It is us who take them for granted and handover to people we deep inside know won't take care of it the way it deserves but it is us who keep telling ourselves it will be fine one day, we kept reminding ourselves they will take care, we kept deceiving ourselves although our intuitions signaled us many times but IT IS US WHO PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN DESTROYING OURSELVES BY OUR OWN HANDS .

Always set defined limits for the people.And don't let them cross that at any cost

"Always set defined limits for the people.And don't let them cross that at any cost."

"What's the way to set limits?"

"See,people always use your weakness against you.Make sure you don't do the blunder of giving them all your secrets.

Because once you do, they're gonna invade your personal space and will ruin everything to the extent of irreplaceable loss.Ultimately,you'll be left with a shattered confidence and split personality.They'll cause you to doubt on your very own skills that you carried proudly before meeting them."

"What if we fall victim of a vulnerable moment and unveil our sacred scars to a wrong being?"

"Yeah,I got you.This happens in everyone's life at least for once.Therefore,take is as a blessing in disguise and turn the tables eventually.Transform those flaws into strength.Heal those wounds in a way that there's no mark left behind.And not because you're concerned of that person to be incapable of revealing your insecurities.But actually for your own.As,it will enable you to learn prioritizing yourself.And remember that the individuals who possess this power are invincible.So,work on yourself until you mold into one."
